Addressed from 46 Gordon Square [London]. The letter concerns general news and mentions he was painting a still life and was interrupted by Francesco, the father of Pamela Bianco who offered Grant one of Bianco's drawings. The letter is illustrated with a very small sketch by Grant of a painting he did 'of Mary and the window'.
